A bill that would crack down on counties and cities that decide not to comply with federal immigration authorities has passed in the state's House. The legislation heads to the Florida Senate, where it's not clear if there is support there to pass it.
Jacksonville decided last summer to wind down and end its red light camera program.
An identical bill (SB 548) is circulating through the senate right now, but has yet to be voted on.
"My position is we always want to add crash avoidance to a number of intersections in Jacksonville, and we were not able to do that successfully", Williams said in August, according to our News4Jax partner. "If red light cameras were really about public safety, local governments would not be getting rid of them once their revenues decline".

Facebook's Sandberg, Twitter's Dorsey to Depart Disney Board
Safra Catz, co-CEO of software giant Oracle Corp., and Francis Desouza, head of Illumina Inc., will join the board on February 1. Facebook also pushed video, including debuting its "Watch" feature in August a year ago .
This is the third year in a row the bill has passed in the House.
On Thursday, Rep. Blaise Ingoglia, one of the bill's sponsors, said almost half the money collected from red-light violations goes to vendors that provide the cameras.
"Red light cameras do not benefit the public-they only benefit local governments addicted to the revenue they generate and the companies that provide the services", Representative Ingoglia said. Proponents say the bill is expected to save Florida drivers $159 million a year in citation fees, while opponents have argued red light cameras help traffic safety.
